  1. Just got mine back from Lexus carlisle ,both recalls sorted and got the gearbox oil changed too while it was in .was only 120 quid so very happy .
  2. One point was off a roundabout in second mate .he was trying his best but the f left him .
  3. Hello lads . Just had a play with a bmw 235i . Totally blitzed it .let him catch up twice and easily pulled away . So there ya go lads .seriously it was nothing against the isf .this was over a 5 mile road too . Destroyed he he bet he takes it back to bmw lol .
  4. Just call into a vehicle signage place ,they will clear wrap in for u
  5. The few of us that are up north seem widely spread out too mate .long way off each other .i was over in newcastle last week .seen not on isf .only ever seen one on the road 4 years ago looked awesum
  6. Yes stu interesting and true comments on many will prefer the isf .horses for courses ,a choice but a lot of money to upgrade from an isf for little gains and looks .buy hey everyone's different so I hope many enjoy the rcf .when the isf first arrived many drooled over it and wanted one ,doesn't seem many are drooling over the rc .i think Lexus should have done a better job ,they have got a solid base with the isf to work off but I think they have spent millions and messed up .Like Pete says the engine and seats in ours and wehey . Indeed, if thre do produce a monster turbo model i would be interested once someone else has suffered the bulk of the depreciation :)Me too

  8. Lexus could hang tins of beans of the back of an isf and it still wouldn't look as bad as the new rc ,it's a mess .bet bmw and merc are loving it .
  9. It'll just be a sport mate with tte body kit factory fit .
  10. Sorry lads but whoever designed it wants shot .it looks awful .just doesn't look class .looks pants .
  11. Yeh your right stu there are cheaper options and same quality .
  12. Great review .when you buy one second hand you get a massive amout of car for your money ,real bargains for a super saloon .
  13. Hahahahah! I got so frustrated when i sat in the car! I tried to push it down so hard, i hope i didn't breake anything! Gearboxes are kinda hard to break right? Really hope so :D!It's designed to be hard to get in so you don't put it in while driving by mistake .get a shot shifter there awesum .trd if you can find one
  14. They should have kept the isf and put the rcf engine in it .wehey awesum
  15. Everyone will take this view and that's why it will sell for little money to a chancer. With a car like this people want to know it has been well cared for. Even if he had done the services himself why not keep the receipts? Makes you instantly think there is something being hidden.The isf is an enthusiasts car so why not come on the forum and defend the car??? Here here young man
  16. It is a shame they don't do a petrol IS250 manual ,then we could fit short shifters etc,why can bmw make a good manual gearbox and Lexus can't ,the discovery of perfection but can't get a good gearbox to work hmm ,imagine the isf with a manual ,it would be unreal .
  17. when it comes to overtaking ability i think we could all attest it boils down to the car in front which one is trying to over take and at which speed and gear the overtaking is about to take place.. although say a 911 Carera S sits lower and lighter than an IS-F, the 911 will not accelerate any faster in an overtaking manoeuvre if it happens between 50 to 75mph as they both achive it in 2.4 - 2.8 seconds in fact the IS-F has been tested to achieve 4.5 seconds from 50-70mph in 5th gear compared to the Carrera S's 5.9 secs in 5th when trying an overtake manoeuvre. even a 335d BMW is quicker(4.7 secs) in 5th gear between 50-70mph compared to say a Carrera S overtaking at the same speeds in 5th. so will all depend on the car in front one is trying to overtake.. but the Porshe looks to fit the bill perfectly in terms of what you kinda looking for ..Lol u certainly do your research mate ,some say train spotter or plane spotter ,hmm your defo car spotter lol
  18. Snice You do know though Pete to buy the origonal kit it's 4 grand eh ,just look after your old stuff lol
